Why did the clown, fairy,
magician, pirate and
face-painter cross the
Cook Strait? To give a
dose of laughter to the
people of Christchurch.
Five
Papakura
children s entertainers
toured the quake-
ravaged city last week in
a bid to give its people a
much-needed laugh.
Cornflake s Magic
World entertainers Fairy
Jessica (Jessica Morris),
Magic Matt (Aaron
Jones), Captain Terry
(Matthew Peckett), Anna
the Face-Painter (Anna
Kerr) and head honcho
Cornflake the Clown
(Justin Lane) made the
two-day trip.
They performed at
eight locations which
included schools, distri-
bution centres, a rest-
home and the Christ-
church Hospital.
Touched by the
struggles facing Christ-
church the team believed
their skills and talents
for comedy and enter-
tainment could help.
Cornflake says the
whole team was moved
by the experience and
they were pleased they
could bring a little joy to
the people they met.
It wasn t until we got
down there that we
realised how bad it was.
This disaster has taken
so much from people but
it hasn t diminished
their spirit, they re
carrying on with their
lives amongst the devas-
tation.
We wanted to help
people forget their
troubles for a while and
we managed to do that
which we re really proud
of.
The team received a
lot of good feedback from
the schools visited, many
of them on their first day
back since the quake.
A lot of the teachers
said the visit was perfect
for the kids to help them
forget what happened, if
only for a little while,
and cheer them up,
Cornflake says.
Before the trip friends
and family helped the
team raise more than
$1000 to spend on toys,
magic tricks and other
goodies.
Every child they
performed for received a
gift.
Cornflake says Fairy
Jessica organised the
trip and was passionate
about making it bigger
and better .
After its success the
team s considering trav-
elling to Christchurch
again in six months and
would love to hear from
others interested in help-
ing out.
The team is made up
of a bunch of ordinary
people who helped in
their own way and every-
body can do that,
Cornflake says.
